1 11 CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) S Dye V Caught wide in midfield early, led on fence 1000 M out, head up at 800 M, 1L clear heading into homestretch, looked vulnerable 250 M out but soon forged clear again.
2 1 CHARMING SPEEDY (CE186) D Whyte B/TT Mostly midfield with cover about 4Ls off pace through to home straight, ran on fairly well late for a place but never nearer.
3 12 MIRACULOUS (CE115) R Fradd -- Soon led or disputing pace on fence, headed at 1000 M and tracked by winner by about 1L until home straight, had every chance 250 M out but one-paced and lost out on 2nd late.
4 7 MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) F Coetzee V Better than midfield 3-back on fence about 3Ls from speed at 1000 M, 3Ls down in 3rd taking home turn, ran on only fairly and just missed a place.
5 5 TURF GOLD (CD342) E Saint-Martin -- 3-wide with cover and worse than midfield about 5Ls from the front until the 600 M, 4-wide on straightening, had every chance to place but kept on at same tempo.
6 13 TOUCH DOWN (CB013) D Nikolic PC-/B2 Dropped out 8Ls last at 1200 M, in 13th taking final turn, briefly without clear running at 300 M, ran on quite well down centre of track, never nearer.
7 3 FEBURO (CE203) K T Yeung B Awkwardly away, towards rear about 6Ls behind at 1000 M, similarly placed at home turn, short of room at 200 M and went inside, stayed on, nearest at finish.
8 14 RED FORTUNE (CE192) W M Lai B Settled in rear bunch on fence and no closer than 6Ls to the pace until home straight, made some moderate late ground on fence.
9 10 ACCELERATION (CD400) A Delpech B Slowly away, 4-back on fence from the 1000 M and 5Ls from the lead in 8th or so, edged a little closer into final bend, didn't trouble leaders any further.
10 6 LUCKY YEARS (CD331) B Prebble PC-/B2 Never better than midfield and always a good 5Ls or 6Ls from the pace, posed little danger in homestretch.
11 8 STAR OF NORTHERN (CD173) M Nunes B Mostly caught 3-wide without cover, disputing lead at 1200 M, wide and 3Ls off pace in 4th at 800 M, struggling to maintain this proximity at final turn, dropped away.
12 2 DRAGON INN (CE327) P H Lo -- 2-wide around mid-division and 3Ls from the front until the 1000 M, lost position on the circle and faded out in home straight.
13 9 SUPER DRAGON (CE245) K S Yu V Always in rear at least 7Ls off pace, never a factor. (Abnormal breathing noise.)
14 4 SUPER BONUS (CG067) K L Chui B Disputed early pace, about 2Ls back in 2nd at 800 M, struggling to lie up on circle and gone at top of homestretch, poor effort.
